Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on upvcdoor.uk, and how you can control them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies are not programs — they cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They simply store small amounts of data that help websites function properly and remember who you are between visits.
Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels and local storage work in a similar way to cookies and are also covered by this policy.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies on upvcdoor.uk to:
- Ensure the website functions correctly and securely
- Remember your cookie consent preferences
- Understand how visitors use our website (analytics)
- Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
- Improve the content and layout of our pages over time
- Connect our website to Google services (Search Console, Analytics)
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, and we do not sell cookie data to any third parties.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies Always Active
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, security and access to areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without them, and they cannot be switched off.
Analytics Cookies Optional
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay, and where they came from. All data is aggregated and anonymous. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
Marketing & Advertising Cookies Optional
These cookies track your visits to our website and other sites in order to deliver adverts that are relevant to your interests. They are also used to limit how many times you see an ad and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. We may use Google Ads and Meta Pixel for this purpose.
Preference Cookies Optional
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made — such as your cookie consent decision — so you don't have to set them every time you visit.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services that we use. We have no direct control over these cookies — they are governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies.
Third parties whose cookies may be present on our website include:
- Google Analytics — website traffic analysis (Google Privacy Policy)
- Google Ads / Google Tag Manager — advertising and tag management (Google Privacy Policy)
- Google Search Console / Site Kit — search performance monitoring
- Meta Pixel (Facebook) — advertising measurement, if enabled (Meta Privacy Policy)
